“Home from home on holiday! Modern house, beautiful setting, well looked after”

Reviewed 23 September 2015
for a stay in September 2015

We felt at home right away here. Was very child friendly too. We had a 9 month old daughter who enjoyed crawling round exploring everywhere safely.The property is excellently appointed and modern with every facility you could need, including high chairs, travel cot etc. and all cooking equipment. Even 3D blu-ray!Beautiful setting with well tended garden and lovely lake view, just a 2 minute walk away is the lake with 3km trail around it.We used the house as a base to explore all the National Trust properties in the area, so suited us brilliantly! As long as your prepared for a slight (15 min) drive to any shops, coffee shops etc you'll be fine

The accommodation was amazing, very modern with you need for your stay. was so peaceful and relaxing during our stay, Caroline was very pleasant and helpful even though we only met for a short period of time, but couldn't have got a more pleasant or helpful person. the selection of bread waiting on us was beautiful. the Smart TV in living room was a great touch. the accommodation was so warm and relaxing and would definitely recommend it to anyone and we most certainly will be back .

The accommodation was idillic. Very modern with all your amnenitites and then some. Well insulated very warm and satalite TV.The games room with pool, table tennis, darts, Wii and plethora of toys offers the kids plenty of distraction should the weather be poor. Outdoor tennis court was god fun in the afternoons.The near by lake has several families of ducks that my two daughters eagerly feed each day. Very peaceful walks.20mb WiFi access keeps the kids happy and us in touch. Smart TV in livingroom a great touch.Caroline was very pleasnt and helpful. Pity we never got to meet but their will be a next time.Highly recommended if you like peaceful seclusion but still loads to do.

I've had the pleasure of staying here twice, once as a quiet getaway with my wife and the second time as a family with our 3 young children (6, 4 and 2 year old boys). It was perfect on both occasions. The hosts go out of their way to as welcoming as possible. There was fresh baked bread on arrival and the woodburner was set in preparation along with an abundant supply of wood. The quality of the accommodation is very good. The 3d tv was loved by our boys and they made full use of the grounds: playing in the treehouse and honing their tennis skills on the grass court. Our youngest loved feeding the rabbits. I can't recommend this place highly enough. You will not be disappointed.ML
